that isn't good

bike doesn't shift well when this happens to your shift linkage. Happened on the 1-2 shift wednesday night. Got a new one on already.

What psi are you using on your shifter? 160? Measure the I.D of the linkage and get a sleeve for the new one so it will not happen again.

Re: that isn't good

it happened because I took the spencer cycle bracket off. It had the square bolt over piece that goes on the linkage and bends it to hold in place. Took that off and when to the frame with the ram so the linkage was already bent some.

Re: that isn't good

will be at vmp regardless. Not taking 1000 unless both bikes are right. Been doing a lot of stuff around the house and the family thing with this nice weather. Me and the son riding the mini bike and his power wheels. Just going to save the 1000 til the busa is running right.
